Verified Answer :

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

The reciprocal of a fraction is its flipped form.

\(\boxed{\text{reciprocal of }\dfrac{A}{B} \implies \dfrac{B}{A}}\)

So, the reciprocals of the given fractions are:

  • \(4\)
  • \(13\)
  • \(-23\)

Subtracting these sequentially, we get:

\(4-13-(-23)\)

\(= 4 - 13 + 23\)

\(= -9 + 23\)

\(= 14\)
